So I'm putting together the ULTIMATE classic rock compilation and wanted to get your help on this. I figure a 100 different set of eyes are better then 1. What I'm going for is that traditional 70's classic rock sound. I know it gets sloppy and there's going to be alot of bands and songs that are sorta cross over and some that others think are classic rock but they're really not. Take a look at my current list and if you can suggest something I don't have, please do so. That's why I posted this hear. FYI - don't suggest bands like Styx, Foreigner, Journey (most of it anyway), Boston, etc. That's NOT classic rock. That was the next era following classic rock, and yes some of the songs do crossover so that said, let's hear what you have. Oh yeah, and even though much of Zeppelin, Aerosmith and things like that I don't consider classic rock. They were too much of a niche sound (although F'n fantastic) and I don't consider classic rock. Just listen to some of the songs below and you'll know that sound I'm going for. Things like Magic Carpet Ride, Long Cool Woman, Sweet Home Alabama, Black Betty, etc.

One of my all time favorites. But that's not classic rock. They're too unique to be classified in that group, and trust me, that's not a knock on them at all. This is what I tried to state at the beginning. The lines will get blurred some here. But if I listed everything that everybody considered classic rock, my f'n list would be 5000 songs long. I'm just trying to make a great list and keep it under like 200 songs.

I can't believe I have to angry about this ****. I never thought they'd change the beer and the coffee. Who knew? I'm gonna open my own bar, okay? It's going to be the most retro bar in the history of New York. We're going to serve coffee, donuts, cigarettes, beer and whiskey and that's it! That's it! That's right. We're gonna call it McLeary's. We're gonna play the Rolling Stones 24 hours a day. And you know what, if I see just a millimeter of underwear, you're out. And we're going to have a big metal detector to get all those **** ring guys, too. Oh yeah. Right at the front door. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! "You got a **** ring?" "No, I..." "You lying piece of ****! Get out! Turn up the Stones!" All Stones, all the time. No house, no techno, no rave, no Puff Daddy, no H&R Pufnstuff, no Puff the Magic Dragon, no Chemical Brothers, no Chemical Sisters, no hip, trip, skip, ******' hop, no! Stones, 24 hours a day. That's right. All we do is we drink, we cry, we fart and we fight. That's it! "Aw, man, I was down at McLeary's last night, it was ******' great! I **** my pants and they gave me new pants! I beat up my mom, she beat me up, it was great! Then we puked! It was excellent! The Stones were there, man!"

This must be the Bizarro World list. Led Zeppelin & Aerosmith are not classic rock, but Bay City Rollers are. BRC's are what we used to call bubble gum music.
They are on the same level of pop that Donny Osmond is.

I don't give a rats ass if some of you disagree with my views on this. I knew it would happen, that's how this place works. So now that you've came here and commented on your disagreements on the songs some of are discussing, you can feel free to visit all the other threads on the forum and leave this one, and let the rest of get to business discussing what I'm looking for. Thanks again to those helping contribute. To those that are not, get over yourselves. Not everybody shares the same opinions as you do.
